Disney: Virtual queue going away for Tiana, Cosmic Rewind rides
Walt Disney World is removing the virtual queues from two rides, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, a roller coaster at Epcot.
Both attractions will use standard “standby” lines where visitors queue up for the experiences and Lightning Lane options, where riders pay for faster access. The changes kick in Feb. 25, the company confirmed Tuesday. This will leave Disney World without any virtual queue attractions for the time being.
In the virtual queue system, theme park guests would use the My Disney Experience app to secure a spot in line at 7 a.m. without being in the park yet. A second round of virtual signups could also be available at 1 p.m.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the refurbished Splash Mountain attraction, opened to the public Frontierland last summer. Cosmic Rewind has operated with virtual queues since its opening in May 2022. The system also formerly was used for Magic Kingdom’s Tron Lightcycle / Run, a coaster that opened in 2023.
